Bbm        Ab       Eb
They don't know how I feel inside
Bbm        Ab      Eb
Through my smile I cry
Bbm        Ab      Eb
They don't know what they do to me

Keeping me from flyin'

(Thats why I say that)

So she can fly, fly, fly

Spreadin' her wings and her song

Let her fly, fly, fly

For the whole world to see

Ab       F#        F
She's like a caged bird

Oh, she's a little fly, She's a little fly, She's a little fly
Ab         F#       Fmaj7**
Spread wings, Spread beauty

* you may want to try varying the Eb by using x6888x, x6534x, or 3x134x
** you may want to finger the Fmaj7 with 1x221x, x 8 10 9 10 x, or x8755x

Tips: Watch the third verse, since it alternates between the two chord progressions, you
want to use the two lead-ins alternatively during that verse.
